"Eminently readable, and more shotgun info than you can use in a
lifetime." -David E. Petzal, Deputy Editor, Field & Stream
Magazine. Let expert Bob Brister offer you advice, instructions,
and solutions to every situation a shotgunner might face. Based on
years of tests, meticulous study of data, and a lifetime of
experience, his advice will help any shooter make every shot count.
A veritable encyclopedia of the shotgun for the modern shooter and
outdoorsman, Shotgunning details the selection of guns, loads, and
chokes; required leads (translated into "bird lengths" for easier
shooting recognition); shot velocity and penetration; the effects
of recoil on the shooter; wind and temperature effects on
shotshells; and much more. Data analysis puts blithely held truths
to the test. Myths are debunked, and Brister's conclusions are
supported with hundreds of photographs, lending Shotgunning an
authority that many recent, worthwhile books on the subject cannot
claim. Chapters include: Shotgun Etiquette The Pump-Action Gun Why
a Two-Barreled Gun The Modern Autoloader How to Make Your Gun Fit
Recoil and Balance Barrels, Chokies, and Forcing Cones Stock
Answers The Fine Art of Waterfowl Shooting Upland Gunning Trap and
Skeet And much more! Brister brightly and boldly presents his
readers with the science of shotgunning, but he never forgets the
art that makes shooting a sport. Shotgunning is an elegant and
educational melange-a unique and invaluable guidebook that any
shotgunner must own. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a
